Dodgers Management: Is Extending Dave Roberts a Good or Bad Thing?
Yesterday, Ian shed some light on the announcement that the Dodgers decided to exercise their 2019 team option on skipper Dave Roberts.

Admittedly, boss Andrew Friedman has been bogged down with human resources duties, but many are still left wondering if Roberts’ future is secure in Los Angeles.
The option calls for Roberts to earn $1.1 million for the 2019 season, a salary that keeps him in the lower-tier of MLB skippers.
